Default Back from the track

I went to LACR last night,(2800ft)above sea level. Anyway, my first run was 15.6...I know thats crap, well after runinng about 23 passes my average run is 14.8@95mph. I had a best of 60' was 2.128 on POS street tires. and My best reaction time was .149.I was spinning most of the time in 1st and chirp in 2nd and 3rd, the stupid BFG's wouldnt hook.my best Mph was 98. Im hoping that ill get some slicks and be in 13's. I had a great time there, it wasnt that crowded. I got to run, 3-5 minutes wait to run, I only lost a couple of races. first loss, a 04 corvette, 2 motorcycle that ran 12's. and a Honda hatch with b18 and 13 psi of boost he beat me first then I beat him later on in the night. I won every car off the line(4.10's=GOD)but most of the cars there were ricers, and some mustangs. Also those 3rd gen camaros are FREAKIN SLOW I beat 2 of those.I also beat a slightliy modded Lt1, I beat him bad off the line, right at the end of the traps he started to pull slowly.Most of the car were ricers and I spanked them pretty bad. I had a blast hopfuly ill get some slicks and go next weekend.
just one question, can anyone do the density altitude to fugure what ill run at sea level, the altitude there is like 2800 i think.

Hey I saw you run the other night, good times. I have about the same mods as you accept for the chassis and pulleys.. I hope to go out soon too, my car was in the parking lot. haha You should have heard the kids in the stands when that honda beat you, they were all excited, then were shut down when you killed him later on! Good runs... Ill let you know when I go again, maybe Ill see you there.

Yeah it is perfect race weather here, something like 65* during the day.. Gets a little chilly at night.. Yeah I saw you miss the gear that one time.. S2000 are supposed to be fast, but the truth is, they are a mid 15 second car with an avg. driver.

Hey, Lets go! What days do you usually go.. Open track nights? (fri, wed) Let me know.. Give me a call or something. I may not be able to get there right away as I work until 6:30, but would go if you guys are going. I haven't been since my exhaust and ignition. Still waiting for the gears to get installed.. It hurts seeing them sit on the floor in my room for the past week, SOON!!! Let me know guys.
